When	Event	Place named	Harm	What the report says
June 2010	Tornado (EF1)	Monoquet	$300,000	A storm survey by NWS personnel indicated a weak circulation embedded in a initially stronger microburst south of US-30. Lofting of debris from a destroyed pole barn was evident in the area suggesting the tornado touched down near a residence south of Fox Farm Road, near North 200 West. The circulation continued to intensify as it tracked southeast into the Center Lake area. Numerous trees were damaged or uprooted along the track with a manufactured home being shifted off its blocks. As the tornado passed over State Route 15, it impacted the Warsaw Foundry, causing the southwest portion of the roof of a building to be torn off (DI: MBS, DOD: 3). The circulation continued across Pike Lake, causing damage to several homes and apartments as well as uprooting trees around the lake and an adjacent cemetery. As it approached U.S. 30, the circulation crossed a large residential area just south of the Kosciusko Community Hospital, uprooting several trees. One large tree fell into the center of a home on Parker Street, destroying it. The circulation crossed US 30 and began to weaken with scattered tree damage. The circulation finally dissipated along Old US 30 east of South 250 East. Maximum winds were estimated around 100 mph. Damage is estimated at $300,000.
